 The digital zoom has no interest.

The camera automatically shut off after one minute. However, when holding the exposure preset, the camera doesn't shut off.

With the camera used, a urban landscape under winter sunshine had a light magenta tint. The flash exposure is good. It is possible to make exposure corrections in the setup menu.

For kap, the "ground " (S1) and "exposure" (R2) connexions are linked on the external male plug. This plug must be inserted, then the lens cover is open whilst the camera is kept aimed on the subject. Thus, the camera will stay power on, and the exposure will be the same for all the pictures as it can be seen from the yellow frame in the center of the screen.

Dismounting:

• remove the batteries and the memory card
• let open the battery compartment
• unbind the label from the bottom
• mark an index on the landscape/macro button
• take off 2 screws on the bottom, 1 screw on USB side, 1 screw on battery side.

• dislocate the bottom whilst raising the front cover
• dislocate the top whilst raising the back over the flash
• take apart the back,recover the strap ring, and the USB cover
• the battery gate will separate by itself
• recover the landscape/macro button
• raise the shutter button, and take apart the front cover

connexions:

• prepare a plug made of 3 connectors from a female bar with 2.5mm step
• solder 3 thin wires 30mm long each; use different colors
• notch the circuit board near BC1 to pass the wires
• spot the connections on the shutter switch
• solder the 3 wires on the posts of the switch, facing S1, R2, R4
• stick the female plug with araldite glue on the circuit board underneath the shutter button

   

  S1 -> common, or ground

  R2 -> exposure preset

  R4 -> shutter release

re-assembly:
